Press & Praise

“Eight-year-old Johnny is eager to visit his grandparents in their big stone house in Connecticut. He vividly remembers his last trip there when he was three, and his strongest memory is of a beautiful, hand-carved wooden horse. Johnny tells his little brother, Liam, that this year, it will be his turn to enjoy it”– School Librar

“Nostalgic paintings and narrative, along with these collaborators’ (Ghost Ship) hefty fan bases, are likely to make this a solid holiday seller…Minor’s gouache and watercolor art, featuring his characteristic exquisite detail, gives the book its magic”– Publisher’s Weekly, September 2011
